Versende is delighted to be partnering with a well-established and highly regarded education organisation in central London to appoint an experienced HR Business Partner.

This is a brilliant opportunity to join a close-knit, supportive HR team of seven in a fast-paced, people-focused environment where culture and collaboration genuinely matter. If you're a true HR generalist who loves building relationships, coaching managers and leading meaningful people projects, we'd love to hear from you.

The role

Reporting to the Head of HR and working closely with the HR Director, you'll be a trusted partner to managers across the organisation, balancing hands-on, operational HR with leading wider people initiatives. Your remit will span:

• Business partnering: acting as the go-to HR partner for your area, providing strategic, commercial advice
• Employee relations: managing high-level, full-spectrum casework and coaching managers
• Organisational change: leading on restructures and change projects
• Recruitment & resourcing: workforce planning, role briefings and selection
• L&D, talent & succession: management training, performance and development
• Engagement & culture: delivering the engagement survey and the initiatives that follow

What you'll bring

• Substantial HR business-partnering experience advising and coaching line managers
• Strong, high-level employee relations and case management
• A proven track record in organisational change (restructures and redundancies)
• Experience delivering people projects and using data to inform decisions
• Degree qualified; CIPD desirable
• Above all, the human qualities: open and approachable, genuine empathy, excellent communication, a natural relationship-builder, resilient and comfortable in a fast-paced, changing environment

What's on offer

• £50,000 to £55,000
• 35 days' holiday plus bank holidays
• Hybrid working: 3 days in the central London office (a little more initially while you settle in)
• A collaborative, supportive \"one team\" culture
• A generous wider benefits package
